In Kenya, the tourism and hospitality industries are among the top industries that bring revenue into the country. As a matter of fact, many Kenyans tend to suffer whenever a ban or a crisis affects the tourism and hospitality industries. Among the things that affect tourism is the demand for agricultural land. People want to farm and some do it to the detriment of tourism resources. The government has put into place a new tourism policy that seeks to involve local communities in the management of tourism resources. However, knowledgeable individuals are needed to make this policy effective. It is for this reason that Kisii University encourages students to undertake Bachelor of Ecotourism and Hospitality Management.
